Core Settings

Alternate start and across on each string set. Out and Back repeats the starting chord before advancing.

Includes the starting shape; the final move returns and advances the cycle. Available levels depend on the starting voicing and direction.

Borrowing

Voices (low to high)
Intervals from scale root

Relative to the selected scale’s root, in any octave or inversion. Each paired choice targets either interval when present. Notes absent from the voicing are skipped.

Alternate outer and inner voices on each new scale chord. With two notes: outer is the bass; inner is the higher note. With three or more: lowest and highest notes versus the notes between them. With paired steps, use outer-outer-inner-inner or inner-inner-outer-outer from the starting chord. Resolution keeps the same movement; Reset restarts the order.

Choose a movement for each interval or voice. Intervals use the selected scale root; voices count low to high in the original voicing. Missing targets are skipped. Use Up and Down to set priority. If rules overlap, the last matching rule wins.
